Original Item: Only One Available. Just purchased from a private collection, this is a fantastic Yugoslavian M56 Inert Display Sub Machine Gun, built from all original parts on an original BATF compliant non-firing inert display receiver, making this a 100% legal display Sub-Machine gun. This receiver was created with the magazine well and barrel bushing portion of a flame cut demilled receiver, attached to a rear receiver made from solid steel bar stock. The deactivated bolt has been welded into the forward position, as required by the BATF. It is completely inert, with no ability to ever be turned into any type of functional device, making this totally legal to own without a license of any kind. Every part on this display gun is original manufacture other than the solid steel rear receiver.

Offered with exceptional original black bakelite or plastic stock and grips, this is the real thing that will only appreciate in value over time. The extending butt stock is present and fully functional, and the trigger still pulls. The barrel is original and does not appear to have been deactivated in any way, however we cannot see the chamber due to the bolt being in the way. Original markings are present, on various components, though there is no serial number that we can see. Included is an original magazine and will have the spring and follower removed if shipped to a state that prohibits high capacity magazines.

This is a wonderful opportunity to pick up a beautiful “MP 40 Clone” Yugo M56 to add to your collection. Comes ready to display!

The M56 submachine gun is a Yugoslavian submachine gun chambered in 7.62×25mm Tokarev, designed for use with the Yugoslav People's Army. Initially a state-funded product, it was later produced by Zastava Arms and saw use in a number of conflicts following the breakup of former Yugoslavia. The M56 is a clone of the MP 40 submachine gun used by Germany, easily distinguished from the MP 40 by its increased length and curved magazine.

While inexpensive to produce and easy to maintain, the M56 also proved to be quite effective at range over its German counterpart; its 7.62 mm cartridge providing significantly more penetration over the 9×19mm round found in the MP 40. Internally the M56 lacks the telescoping recoil spring found in the MP 40. The magazine release also differs and is located directly behind the magazine instead of on the side of the receiver on the MP 40. The M56 also uses a double feed magazine contrary to the single feed magazines used on the MP 40. The M56 has a fire selector switch allowing the operator to fire in either semi or fully automatic which the MP 40 did not have. Disassembly also differed with the gun being taken apart via a rear end cap, separating the lower and upper receivers while the MP 40 this was accomplished by a button on the lower receiver located behind the magazine well. Another change from the MP 40 is that the M56 lacks the Bakelite resting bar below the barrel on the MP 40.
